PM backs Ireland manager in Israel row

Israel's football federation had criticized Hallgrímsson for comments about the war in Gaza, calling his remarks "stupidity, ignorance and hypocrisy." Speaking in New York while attending the UN general assembly, Martin stated that Israel's response was "unacceptable" and should be withdrawn.

"Israel can't keep denying what the world knows, and what the world understands," Martin added, expressing support for his country's football chief amid the diplomatic dispute. h-doctor.club
